The decision of Chido Obi-Martin to part ways with Arsenal stemmed from disagreements related to his future team placement and financial matters.
Having confirmed his departure from the club, the 16-year-old’s exit has stirred disappointment and frustration among the fans.
Rumors suggest that Obi-Martin might make a switch to Arsenal’s rivals, Manchester United, although an official decision regarding his next destination is yet to be announced.
Arsenal had offered Obi-Martin a spot in their Under-18 squad, along with the chance to play for the Under-21s whenever possible and even train with the senior team, as per reports from the Daily Mail.
However, it is believed that Obi-Martin preferred an immediate transition to the Under-21s and also had differing views on financial terms, with the teenager reportedly demanding a sum significantly higher than what Arsenal was prepared to offer.
